Canelo Alvarez believes the rematch against Gennadiy Golovkin was enough to end their rivalry
Canelo Alvarez has suggested that his rivalry against Gennadiy Golovkin should've ended following his win in their 2018 rematch. The two first fought in 2017, a bout which turned out to be much closer than expected and ended in a draw.
Alvarez and Golovkin entered the ring again in 2018 in a bout that was close as well, but the Mexican managed to win via unanimous decision. Now, heading into the trilogy, the undisputed super-middleweight champion has claimed that the rematch was enough to put an end to their rivalry.
During a recent interview with Matchroom Boxing, Canelo Alvarez said:
“For me in my mind, the second fight, that’s the end of the fight with Golovkin. It’s enough, right? [But] the people wants to know who’s the best between me and Golovkin.”
Further in the interview, Alvarez spoke about the reason behind the bad blood towards Gennadiy Golovkin. He said:
“He’s always saying that I’m not a good champion and I’m embarrassing my country, that kind of stuff. That’s why I’m mad at him because when he’s in front of me or near me, he doesn’t say anything about that. That’s why I’m mad.”
